Gilda Chamberstick - 13 cm Diameter - Handcrafted in Italy - Pewter
The Gilda pretty pewter chamberstick, sometimes referred to as a 'handlestick', due it being carried by hand, recreates the nostalgia of taking a candle to bed; draughty landings and floaty nightdresses.
Whereas there is nothing particularly romantic about a power-cut, having a chamberstick to hand, with its broad drip tray to collect wax drips, and ensuring stability, means that one can make the best of it in style.
Candle-light adds a certain ambience to a room, whether forced or voluntary, and the traditional design of this pewter candlestick adds to the ambience created by a candle’s gentle glow, yet safety is paramount - even when you are relaxed and ready for bed, and the candles need to be extinguished, so having a built in snuffer is a great feature.
Candle snuffers were originally developed to remove the “candle snuffs”, the excess sooty threads of twisted flax, cotton or hemp, that were used on early tallow candles made from fat. The term ‘snuffer’ has extended over the years to include extinguishers, which are placed over the candle to stop the air from supplying the flame, putting it out safely, but leaving the wick intact. These extinguishers can be any length, from very short ones, to very long ones used for putting out hard-to-reach and tall pillar candles, often used in stately homes and churches.
